Samantha Azzarello leads digital transformation initiatives at a large multinational bank in New York and is both a mentor and a mentee at OneUpOneDown. In her spotlight she explains why she mentors, why leadership is about asking good questions rather than having all the answers, and why you don’t need a perfect career story to be a great mentor.
“You don’t need to have a perfect career story to be a great mentor, you just need to show up with curiosity, generosity, and honesty.”
